The Dark End of the Street

The last song on my last post was Marti Jones and Don Dixon's performance of The Dark End of the Street. This is such a great song that I have decided to do an entire post with covers of it.

Written in 1966 by Dan Penn and Chips Moman, this is the first recording, which was done by James Carr.



Dolly Parton & Porter Wagoner



Gram Parsons with The Flying Burrito Brother



Eva Cassidy

Marti Jones & Don Dixon

Marti Jones had a more active musical career back in the 80's. I think recently she have focused more on her painting, including a whole series on Grey Gardens. But she has been doing some concerts recently. Here are some videos of her performing with her husband Don Dixon.

"Follow You All Over the World"



"Any Kind of Lie"



"Dark End of the Street"
